Seven continents, some of the world’s wildest environments and one black leopard all make an appearance at a new photography exhibition.
Photographer Roger Hooper is returning to Gallery OXO at the OXO Tower Wharf in Barge House Street, South Bank for his 15th wildlife photography exhibition at the venue.
Mr Hooper’s summer exhibition opens to the public on July 21 to display photographs from around the world with a variety of wildlife images including the rare black leopard.
Mr Hooper said: “Having visited all seven continents, of all the animals I have been fortunate to photograph, the melanistic black leopard without a doubt is the most beautiful.
“I use photography as a way of informing others of the frailty and beauty of the world around us, highlighting the need to preserve our wildest environments, and the plight of our most endangered species.”
A black panther is a melanistic variant of a Leopard and Jaguar.
They have been documented mostly in tropical forests, with Black Leopards in Kenya, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and Java, and Black Jaguars in the Americas, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Paraguay.
The exhibition is on from July 21, August 6
